February 12, 200521 yr Please welcome my parents new ride to the Board. Its a 98 Outback Limited with 145K miles. Purchased cheap as the prior owner had already put 2 sets of headgaskets on it and didnt feel like paying for set #3. Ouch! My dad turned 50 yesterday so I am calling it his "Midlife Crisis car." Sure is fancy enough to be. This is their 2nd Subaru, the first was an 85 GL Wagon that had a crummy heater and smelled like gear oil. That one left a bad mark so I had to find a darn nice one to start the healing process. Hard to break em of the Toyota's that never seem to fail. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=4265&sort=1&cat=500&page=1 It sure has pained me to put the first 75 miles on the rebuilt engine thusfar! It just purrs, when I can even hear it.
February 12, 200521 yr Looks good Shawn I've been trying to get my mom converted to a Subaru but her husband will only buy Fords I did just help my sis make the move to a 2005 Baja though :D
February 12, 200521 yr Nice work Shawn. Might wanna try adding some of Sube's mystery "stop leak" - or is this engine prone to the internal leak? By the way, that generation Outback looks much more butch than the new and far too smooth OB's.
